A Letter to my Ex; wishing you a happy marriage in advance

Dear Abena,

Having laughed and enjoyed your reply to my last letter to you dated July 27, 2015, I find today as very appropriate to write to you again. Hope you are doing very well in health?

Anyway, let me express my appreciation to those kind words you merited unto me in your last reply... to a point, you took the whole thing a far by comparing me to an angel.

Before I tell you my reason of writing to you this day, I quickly wish to answer some few questions you raised during your last piece. In the last letter, you sought to know;" if I'm over thinking about our break-up" and again," what makes me think the vacuum you left won't be filled"?

In a quick response, I must admit I'm still thinking about your exit almost eight months now but I also want to let you know life is still going on as it should be. I'm not over thinking as you put it. Certain things are part of life so I have learn to let my past be my past.

Again, to the second one, I never said the vacuum won't be filled but rather, I said" it shall be difficult to fill". Why did I say that?

Abena, casting back at how we came close and how we also parted still seems as a movie story to me. Besides, your type of woman like I have always told you is uncommon and so difficult to come by. From your inner manners to the outside ones, you are simply one in a million and I believe I may not have your kind of woman again....that's why is said so.

However, the world is full of mysteries so I wouldn't be surprise to find someone just like you or even better.

Abena, do you remember this usual statement of mine, "the world is large but very small to hide something".

Never think of hiding something from the world because its obvious it shall fall out either by default or fault.

..I know you will be surprised by the title of my letter. Don't be, because its a true reflection of the statement above. I wholeheartedly wish you a happy and a prosperous marriage in advance.

If you care to know how I got to know since you have kept it a secret from me, again, remember that usual statement of mine above.

I personally can still not understand how I got to know it, but you can call it a coincidence. I visited a printing press to do some photocopy of some letters I intend filing at my MP's office. I set off my around 4pm, I met a friend who knew about us so he asked about you from me."This boy is still a stranger in town"..I said to myself but I replied in a happy relief that you are doing well. I looked at my watch and it was 11 minutes after 4pm.

So I continued my journey and upon reaching the shop owned and operated by my own friend, I saw my friend editing some document on his desktop, surprisingly, my watch was 4:22pm. At my first site, I saw "Eben weds Lizzy" but I didn't really give it a damn. After finishing my photocopies, I went to my friend to cover my bills and it was this time that I served my doubts right.

In short, it was your wedding invitation cards on the desktop scheduled to take place on 11th October,2015 with the venue of which I would wish to keep it a secret from possible hackers of this piece.

Immediately, I was clothed with shocks and surprises. It was not because you getting married but your inability to inform me. Why would Abena wish to hide this from me? We have been sharing much secret issues about ourselves than this, so I expect even a gist of it.

After getting to my house that day, I decided to tell Sister Ama about what I saw at the printing shop but it was so obvious I was lost without control; your marriage stuff wasn't a secret in my neighbourhood. People confirmed you have personally invited them.

I don't intend to let you feel bad after reading my piece but I want to let you know that, I will personally be at the ceremony. This is to show you that, you have my support in all endeavours though we are no more.

Dear, I have cancelled my plans and schedules for that particular weekend all in a bid to come and launch my utmost support for your highest happiness as you tie the knot of life.

To your soon to-be husband, I send my regards. I don't want to say much to him but all I can say is that, he's one of the most luckiest men on earth to have you as a wife. With you, he's more than a royal highness. With you, he's find the blessings and favour of God.

I wish he never treat you bad in your lifetime because you deserve to be treated as a queen. Do him no evil just as you did none to me I pray you all well in marriage.

As I end, let me hasten to add that, I'm also in a serious search for your replacement and I will formally introduce her to you after I found her. It wouldn't long, I believe.

Until I hear from you again, I leave you and your groom to-be in peace to keep the best of preparations.

Me ma mo aware so oooo!!!!

Thank you.

Kobby
